claw Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i think if people are happy doing what they like to do then let them do it, certification means nothing as long as they are happy who cares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryn Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Are you going to be happy 'X' months down the line, when you suddenly realise that you've been taught by someone who's only had a few months experience? Years ago Martial arts weren't taught to gaijin. They were secret. Maybe in future real martial arts will be just as difficult to find again, as you'll have to wade through a sea of McDojo's to find them. If they're happy? They do say ignorance is bliss, but they're paying to be enlightened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aefibird Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 GKR is a terrible, terrible art - a disgrace to even call it a "martial art" as it gives the rest of us who train hard and work hard for your MA a bad name. Grrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemantis Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have someone that trained with them and from some of the story’s he told me I think I would have showed them the finger. I have a video given to me about them with the founder on it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 i think if people are happy doing what they like to do then let them do it, certification means nothing as long as they are happy who cares! They are being conned. It's like a pyramid scheme, everyones happy until it collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemantis Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Its just a shame that when it collapses and there word falls in on them it sometimes puts them off from trying another Martial art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox20thc Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The GKR sales force knocked on my door again this week. In their 'official' tracksuits with shiny glossy brochures ect. I answered the door he said hello. I just looked at him and said "Go-Kan-Ru ? Nah, your no good, tried it bought the t-shirt and you have already disillusioned most parents on this estate so I suggest you save yourself the footslog and get out of the rain" He gave me the resigned look of someone who knew full well that was true and he was flogging a dead horse and scuttled off with his head hanging low.

wasenshi Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 If one of them knocked on my door I'd probably ask them if they wanted private kata lessons for £30 an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavegal Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi every one one thing Martial arts has taught me it is respect for other styles and i have to say your all right on this one (even you Freddy) some one once said "if you havn't anything good to say about anyone then don't say anything, that way you can't get in trouble " so here are my views on GKR " ".
